I was born, raised, and lived in this area my whole life. I have been around the water since I could remember – from being on my grandpa's shrimp boat and fishing with friends and family to now running a charter boat. Watching kids and adults from inexperienced to experienced fishermen getting excited about catching their first, biggest fish, or just having fun, is something I really enjoy. I just love watching people of all ages enjoy the outdoors as much as I do.

    Captain Freddie was wonderful!

    Full Day Trip • 1 adult

    Captain Freddie immediately responded to my request to book, gave clear information, followed up, and more than that, gave my son an amazing trip. Even though the rain interfered some, he was flexible and left later and was able to figure out ways to get on fish anyhow. We will be back!

    Response from Captain

    Thank you , enjoyed him as well . Had a good time fishing and talking to him.

    Good mix of keepers and catch & release

    Full Day Trip • 2 adults

    Freddie Harbroth did a great job of putting us on the trout using live croaker. We limited out near bird island. We then went to catch a few bull reds and a jack crevalle using sardines as bait, what a fight. The bull reds and jack were fun for a fight and a picture if you have never caught one. We moved on the try and catch some redfish in the slot. Unfortunately, we had no luck there. Freddie was excellent, rigging and baiting us up, and netting the trout before the dolphins could get our catch. Overall, I would recommend Freddie.

    Reported catch:
    Jack Crevalle
    Redfish
    Speckled Trout

    Good Day Fishing

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 3 adults • 1 child

    Speckled trout fishing was a little slow as Captain Freddie was working on getting us our limit on trout. We were able to get 5 of the 6 with another 4 or 5 that were not quite large enough to keep and we caught several other species of fish that we were not targeting such as 5 skipjacks, 2 blacktop sharks along with 3 other species of sharks, gafttop and several other fish as Captain moved us to various locations to get our limit and even gave us an additional 90 minutes of fishing time as we tried to get that last legal size trout!

    Reported catch:
    Speckled Trout

What's biting with Custom Rod Charters in Port O'Connor

The Redfish bite is so hot this time of year that the local jokingly call it 'Red October.' Join the hunt in the inshore waters and hook some Bull Reds.
